Mecabag System has integrated a machine for emptying aromatics. This machine was installed with the aim of emptying big-bags of herbs of all sizes thanks to a hoist which places the bag in a hopper, eliminating the dimensional constraint of the bag. The flexibility of this machine makes it possible to sweep a wide range of products in order to process the aromatics thanks to the sieve.

The process is broken down into 3 steps:

• empty the big-bag: the operator brings the bag with a handling device to the level of the recovery zone on the hoist. Once the straps of the bag have been hooked to the lifting beam, all you have to do is use the hoist to position it in the hopper. The operator can then open the doors below to unlace the big-bag chute to release the product from the bag;
• Convey the aromatics to the sieve, via a vibrating corridor which leads the product to the paddle elevator. The product is then sent directly to the sieve. The design of this particular machine allows the lifter to be removed, which can be moved to carry out cleaning operations in the sieve;
• Sieve the aromatics, to treat the product in order to extract the edible part. The particularity of the specialist's range of filling stations and big-bag emptying stations for more than 30 years is that it can be adapted to a large majority of existing or emerging industrial processes, thanks to modular equipment and made to measure according to all the constraints. All the equipment in the range is manufactured in the Freneuse factory (Yvelines), which has a showroom and a test station.
